2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP67 EEM

This Toyota Yaris has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests conducted between October 2021 and March 2026. The most recent inspection at 59,328 miles in March 2026 confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the 14-month gap since that test—now approaching July 2026—means a pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify no deterioration has occurred in critical areas. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, but this does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components like suspension or drivetrain. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 7,400 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a 15-month gap between the October 2022 and March 2024 tests, during which the odometer advanced by 8,769 miles—slightly above the average annual rate. This suggests the vehicle was in regular use, though the extended period between tests in 2023 could imply either deferred servicing or a temporary layoff. There are no red flags in the data, but the lack of service records means hidden maintenance issues cannot be ruled out. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items that may not trigger MOT failures until they reach critical degradation. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced prolonged exposure to moisture. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this is a frequent issue in vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of advisories in past tests does not guarantee these components are sound, so a thorough visual and functional check is advisable.
